Documentary Transcription Services
Ditto Offers Professional Documentary And Post-Production Transcription Services
After recording interviews and shooting the essential scenes, the next biggest challenge for documentary makers is reviewing hours of raw video footage. Before a film is finalized, the collected video material must be sorted, labeled, and arranged accordingly, which could take forever if done manually without a documentary transcription services company to help you. If your team needs general transcription services, look no further than Ditto Transcripts.
If you’re under a tight deadline, the most efficient way to handle hours of interview footage is to get a written transcript of your recordings. Having us on your team will help you quickly identify sound bites, edit sequences, and develop the final storyline. Our professional team of US-based transcribers will help lessen your post-production woes by providing accurate transcripts of your video files at lightning-fast speeds and the most affordable prices.
The Many Benefits of Documentary Transcription
Access to a high-quality transcription of your video files will help streamline the documentary production process and ensure that your content is accessible to a wide range of audiences.
Here are several more ways transcription assists documentary film makers.
Saves Time And Expedites The Production Process
A written record of documentary interviews can save filmmakers plenty of time. Instead of watching and rewatching the entire video, they can quickly find what they need with a searchable document. All they need to do is type in a keyword to locate the specific section where the term they’re looking for was mentioned.
A documentary interview transcript also helps producers, editors, and directors become more familiar with the recorded material. It gives them the full context of what was said in the interviews, allowing them to identify the most important segments. If requested, Ditto Transcripts can assign time codes and time stamps to your transcripts to serve as references, ensuring that information is well within your reach.
In other words, hiring a documentary transcription service will prevent you from switching between viewing and editing videos during the post-production stage.
Improves Accessibility and User Experience
Documentary transcription’s benefits are not limited to production and post-production—transcripts can increase the reach of your films by making them accessible to a more diverse audience. They can easily be made into closed captions using SRT files.
Captions and subtitles have become essential to video content on various platforms. They can help viewers with hearing impairments, ADHD, or auditory processing disorders understand your content better. Accurate captions also aid the comprehension of audiences who are non-native speakers of the language used in a documentary. They also promote inclusive content that meets viewers’ different needs.
Moreover, a transcribed documentary facilitates the translation process. A translated film can be consumed by global audiences, boosting its reach and viewership many times over.
Allows People to Watch Anywhere
The last decade has seen a shift in how people consume content, an important consideration when producing films.
Nowadays, people prefer watching videos on their mobile devices, sometimes on mute (particularly for viewers using public transport, at the gym working out, parents rocking children to sleep, etc.), highlighting the significance of adding closed captions to your films and making written versions of them available to the public.
